Chapter Five345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifFnlbTRLN
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qGSLDgaci
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62yJjtlcky
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhLvmw6KIN
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfDuiJxWLy
always succeed.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI3ugHYyEw
That is what we do, who we are.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOovTAaYNoe
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTOeK1UxuY
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWxwfpvrN7
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj33ZJA0LIH
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlleruQKMkn
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiULopQQMD
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1guqVmw2vU
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6BlK3jA2e
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoX9SGZilD
to succeed, and we always do.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNTwAJY0p5
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEG024Mn9D
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4t4C6ovBG
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBEYN8xPDf
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsX7EnX5dG
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKCy1DBGkS
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lw0f3d70o
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC2QHlCbtr
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAnPuCiR67
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALHULd19OX
at all times why we succeed...345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX93xmPuQI
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod6727iL5c
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBXe8heNe2
with, in both time and geography.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGCKap3ZDH
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BaCNJ3Cbm
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK57rPGUszi
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPDQk25Rvy
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLIgYLR1NY
in the eyes.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM2B8FqPhK
Be always mindful of this.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WrLm0picS
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuUXVWw07V
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP61QXIDEgP
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV7tWuJeGq
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH5vYg8TXA
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhbGIs0J9i
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdat6uLb9VF
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGHD4jJF5V
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKoxhHRBkP
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm34LFu9d4r
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoREKjtFPXF
command.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRo7x1Re7o
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZie2Z4lsYk
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnR3pRestr
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQrASrk29A
about this.
